Behind the Song - Let Love Lead the Way

This is the fist sing along song I've ever written in my whole life! I was honored to be invited to perform at the 2019 Women's March in San Diego, and while I have a host of politically inspired songs, they all leaned toward rage. And while there's definitely a place for rage in protest marches and in protest music, I wanted to write something specific for the occasion that was also unifying,  family-friendly, and very easy to sing along. Still, I didn't want it to be all rainbows and sunshine, so I made sure that the lyrics touched on the strength of women who work together to achieve results, the fact that women have the right to govern their own bodies, the fact that we are becoming more and more fearless in our unity, the fact that we need to be intersectional and fight for the rights of all marginalized people, and the strength of women as a voting body. I managed to get all that in without saying the F-word one time! I'm pretty proud of myself. I do have plans to record this song professionally with a full women's choir.

Lyrics

​1. we are the women 
we have the power 
to come together 
to save the day 
mothers before us 
sisters beside us 
daughters to guide us 
let love lead the way

let love lead the way (let love lead the way) 

2. we are the women 
we make our own choices 
we lift up our voices 
we are not afraid 
mothers before us 
sisters beside us 
daughters to guide us 
let love lead the way 

let love lead the way (let love lead the way) 

3. we are the women 
all colors of skin and 
we will be voting on election day 
mothers before us 
sisters beside us 
daughters to guide us 
let love lead the way 
​
let love lead the way (let love lead the way)
